Gardener's Guide to Growing Money Trees - Dave Bell

The gardener’s guide to Growing Money Trees is the first in a series of books by author Dave Bell, which combines his deep love of nature, with a lifelong fascination with life, business and ‘what we learn along the way’.

The book is a photographic journey looking at the ‘big picture’ … a journey laced with humour, to reflect our observation that life seems to have a way of gently laughing at us all, even in our darkest moments.

It was produced in collaboration with photographer and award-winning landscaper James Morcom, who has been described by some as a ‘nature paparazzo’ to all our feathered and furry friends.

A big congratulations to Dave for winning a Bronze Award in the 'Living Now Book Awards.'

Dave Bell is an Adelaide author and after a rather rocky start to his working life, Dave finally graduated from the school of financial hard knocks in 2000, majoring in ‘the art of working really hard, while going broke slowly’.

Through the help of a share market savvy friend, and aided by a ‘never say die’ attitude, Dave was eventually able to turn his financial fortunes around and rise above the poverty trap.

To celebrate this achievement, he quit his day job to do something really creative. So was born ‘The gardener’s guide’, a book which took two years of blood, sweat, and fun to finish!
